The players themselves mentioned that the systems were almost identical and that the changes from TG to BB were more mentality/trust/deployment based than systems based Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
250Integra Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 Everyone knows the hole they dug before the coaching change was too deep to get out of. They know they can be a GREAT team under coach BB. Hope it translates to this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The team did a clear cut 180 for 5 months the second the coaching changed happened. Not sure how anyone can think the two coaches just use the same anything lol It's Stawns we're talking about here... he'll argue debate anything and everything.

Wanless Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 3 minutes ago, BlakeQuinnAndEggs said: OEL likes the back end. I know these are cookie cutter answers but it sounds like the team has a lot more confidence in the defense than the fans and media. From the top down, management, coaching and the players have all touted the defense as being good enough. I broke it down and compared defensive zone stats against the Avalanche and the only difference really is that the Canucks gave up 1.2 more scoring chance shots against with everything else being extremely comparable with the canucks coming out on top in a few catagories While I fully support the d group this season where things could get out of control is if 2 top four dmen went down at the same time for an extended period of time Hopefully having a deeper forward squad will translate into the Canucks not chasing the play as much, which is where injuries often come from 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OEL-Hughes Dermott-Myers Rathbone-Schenn If Rathbone isn't ready, it'd be a lot easier to find a top 4 LHD than a top 4 RHD. That would make a Dermott-Schenn 3rd pair, which should be pretty effective in just keeping the puck out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlakeQuinnAndEggs Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 It sounds like the plan indeed is for Quinn to play the right side with OEL. That's a pretty good top pairing on paper at least. That leaves a hole at LD on the 2nd pairing. Rathbone is a bottom pairing D at best right now. I think there is a strong chance Danny DeKeyser makes this team on his PTO and Rathbone cracks the bottom pairing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was under the impression it would be only sometimes when we need to activate the D more... There's still Myers, Poolman, Schenn Burroughs Rathbone, Dermott. I think we can find a 4 man combo that works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give the players continuity, ability to form chemistry early on, and hit the ground running. One thing I really hated about Green's tenure, was he mixed up lines so much that he never gave them enough time to gel together and form chemistry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanucksJay Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 30 minutes ago, HKSR said: Yup, forecheck is identical. It's AFTER the puck is lost in the offensive zone that the defensive structure completely changes between BB and TG. To be honest forecheck isn't even identical. BB came in and had the 2nd guy in sync with the first because previously, the timing of F1 and F2 were off so even if TG was trying to deploy 2 fore checkers, the 2nd forward didn't play with the same aggressiveness and desparation to engage giving the opposing team way too much time to get out. Hardly any turnovers were forced. When BB arrived, we then played similar to Montreal in the bubble season. 2 forecheckers in and hard and quickly with full commit. That was the key difference in forcing turnovers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
